[edit]Hello, I'm Enwebb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Know My Name (book) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. Enwebb (talk) 17:17, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Chanel Miller. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Enwebb (talk) 15:08, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Enwebb please explain what you find to be so disruptive about my edits, and also please kindly stop reverting them with template messages that don’t actually explain what your problem is. I suppose this approach works for someone who is trying to get another editor blocked, but it does not reflect any actual interest in content on your part. I eagerly await your response. Sincerely, Sphinctor.
- Hi. When it comes to adding new material to an article, the onus is on the person making the change to gain consensus for the change, not the person removing it. In the case of articles about living people, the barrier is even higher - unsourced negative information about a person should be removed. Please consult the biographies of living persons policy for more information. Guettarda (talk) 19:57, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Guettarda,
Ok, I’m sorry I did not realize that. Thank you for explaining. I won’t restore my edits. Sincerely, Sphinctor
